Spotted on the street

Walking through the medina in Essaouira there were a lot of bikes being used as everyday transport, most were Dutch style sit up and beg from Gazelle, Cannondale and a variety of manufacturers I have never heard of but the two I noticed were Phoenix and Flying Pigeon which are both Chinese copies of the Raleigh Sports.

Yes, good to see that classic mod rear its ugly head on this thread (the 'antler mod' as I think of it).

I once saw someone riding a bike with brifters mounted on the top on their swivelled-up bars. I guess this meant braking was easier with a very upright position, but I can only think the shifting must have been really awkward. It just goes to show some people prioritise being entirely upright on a bike above pretty much anything else.
